re: Anyone ever leave a great job to start a business?

I'm in the exact same boat. Mid 20's, married, no kids, wife works, etc...

I have a good job and considering the amount of work I do, I feel I am compensated very well. I just don't know that I can spend the rest of my working days building someone else's company.

I just have to figure out what I could do that would be of necessity, and is exciting to me.

The biggest thing I have been told is to try and do some things on the side, to build a foundation.
